M… m… m… my corona 2

/ masher

I’m ill!

I have the dreaded lurgi!

It’s probably just a cold.

    I did consider wearing one of those masks whilst were in town but as were going to see Frank Skinner I thought might have opened me up for some ridicule from the comedy legend.

    Anyhow I think mine’s just a cold too!

    • You saw Frank, live? I’m jealous.

      A radio amateur friend of mine works for a company that supplies the NHS and he says they ran out of those surgical masks within just a couple of days.

  3. Funny how you came down with this illness so soon after receiving a little package from China. Now I’m not one to air conspiracy theories but…
